 Coaching in the business setting uses the synergy of the organization and its members to evolve their capacity for learning and renewal into achievement of extraordinary results. Business coaching (this could be executive coaching for you or team coaching for selected subordinates or leadership coaching for your management staff) shifts the workplace from one where people receive direction from others to one where people commit to doing things they care passionately about. Sounds pretty terrific, doesn’t it? Having employees who care passionately about what they do when they come to work? Everyone wins, and organizations achieve a strong competitive advantage when organizational members' creativity and potential are realized. What's the Big Deal? Intense global competition, advances in technology, product and service innovation have created a new business imperative. To sustain competitive advantage, indeed to survive, organizations are compelled to continually innovate with unprecedented speed. Rapid responses to the marketplace will be possible only in those organizations that promote continual advances in knowledge within their cultures. To do this, organizational leaders and members alike must radically shift the way they think and act in relationship to work. They must place emphasis on learning, on harnessing individual and collective creativity. This will require a new type of workplace relationship. Coaching provides both a technology and a process for such a relationship, and is one of the cornerstones for organizational evolution. What’s in it for Your Business? Try this: check off the statements below that apply to you. A ‘yes’ to any one of them is a good indication that you will benefit from having a coach help enhance the operations of your business.
What's the Bottom Line? If you engage me to coach you, your management or support staff, we’ll work together to create a plan using measurable objectives; these might be benchmarks for enhanced productivity, reduced cost, quicker task completion – whatever is relevant for your business situation. Using your goals as a guideline is the best way to measure the effectiveness of any program, including this one. This work is completely customized to your situation, needs and resources. Services can include one-to-one coaching, group coaching, team development, interactive workshops, individual team Assessments (see Assessment Tools for details) or employee off-site retreats. However, these tools are only meaningful within the context of your situation, desired outcomes and best options to achieve them. So, get the process started by clicking here for an initial consultation - no obligation, no pressure, no kidding. As with all effective coaching, it will only work if you take the first step.
Comments from satisfied clients . . . "....... the one thing he missed not working for a large firm was a mentor who can guide and advise. He used business coach Andrea Feinberg before he went on his own and has consulted with her since. 'You need an outside voice of reason', he said. 'Andrea's been excellent.' " Tom Brown, Thomas Brown CPA, Inc., Ronkonkoma, NY as quoted in Long Island Business News, 3/08 
Andrea, I hope you know how much I respect you. You are worth so much more than the fee you are charging now. I thank you for your visits to my shows, and for the example of personal interaction you set and which I think is awesome. Christine Mallouk, Christina's World, Deer Park, NY
Hi Andrea,
Thank you for reaching out to your contacts on my behalf. I enjoyed our conversation yesterday and I was glad to have been able to set some goals for 2008 down in writing, as well as begin to understand and utilize my strengths as part of achieving those goals. I look forward to our next call. Charlie Baker, Bellbrook Realty, NY Dear Andrea,
THANKS very much for your time, and for listening to my concerns.
You are a terrific listener, and your hint about turning my negatives into positives, will be one I will implement beginning NOW.
Barbara, Bbosco Designs, Hancock, MI Hello Andrea,
As I mentioned to you at the very end of the meeting, one of the young students engaged me in a conversation out in the hallway and tried desperately to get me to tell him about all of " the obstacles" and "the problems" that I experienced in working with a coach. As I told him, the God's honest truth is that there aren't any problems. I explained that I am committed to improving myself and my business, and that you and I work hard towards those goals. Either he did not believe me or his youth was driving him to get me to tell him what he wanted to hear. Anyway, I didn't give in! I told him that from my perspective, coaching works!
